The current Li Wei was already completely exhausted from the battle, how could he be a match for Gao Jun?

Gao Jun seemed to want to tease his opponent, he did not kill his opponent, but Li Wei cried out in pain and retreated.

He had not taken a few steps back when Xun Xiao spurred his horse forward again. He slashed across Li Wei's back with the Heaven Axe, and created another bone-deep gash on his back.

The two of them surrounded Li Wei, one spear and one axe, not long later, Li Wei's entire body was covered with wounds, the spirit armor on his body was full of wounds and wounds, all of it dripping with blood, as though he was a man made of blood.

Seeing that, the surrounding Zhen Soldier all started to laugh, in their eyes, Li Wei was no longer a human, but a plaything for them to play with.

At the end of the battle, Li Wei couldn't hold on any longer. He first knelt on the ground, then fell on his back and couldn't get up anymore.

Gao Jun and Xun Xiao looked at each other, feeling that the other party had reached his limit. They glanced at each other, then Xun Xiao rushed forward on his horse, raised his Heaven Splitting Axe high into the air and used all his strength to chop down.

Ka-cha! *

This heavy axe hacked the dying Li Wei into two pieces. The impact was so great that even a huge crack appeared on the ground.

Li Wei was one of the first important generals to follow Tang Yin, following him in the war to the north, his achievements were countless. Unfortunately, in the battle with the Chastity Army, just a moment of carelessness had killed him, causing him to die miserably at the hands of the Chastity Army. Li Wei's death had not only caused his Feng Country to lose another large general, it had also dealt a heavy blow to his morale.

In the battle of Jian City, all of them were defeated, and in the end, the number of soldiers that followed Peng Haochu and fled was less than thirty thousand. Originally, one hundred thousand of Chifeng Army's members were reduced by over seventy percent. In theory, this was equivalent to them being annihilated by the enemy. At that time, neither legions nor legions lost more than seventy percent of their troops in a single battle, and they were able to cancel the formation and merge with other legions or legions.

This miserable defeat, was undoubtedly Li Wei's fault, but Li Cheng's scheme was also very brilliant. Even if it wasn't Li Wei, if it had been someone else, they would have been deceived.

Li Cheng was an anomaly in the army, so even if he was placed amongst the generals of the various duchies, he would still be considered the most special one.

On the other hand, he was resourceful, cunning, and crafty; he was good at using strategies, and the army he commanded would often be able to burst forth with unimaginable strength in adversity.

Since the beginning of the war, the Chastity Army had been advancing at a rapid pace. They had won several battles in a row, and their momentum was like a hot knife through butter.

sneak attack Cong City, forcefully attack Fang City, and then, an unfathomable war began at Jian City. First, Li Cheng lead the chaste army to destroy the Pingping prefecture's local army, and killed County Commandant Su Yuan who was leading the troops. Then, they took over the Jian City without any bloodshed, and when the Chifeng Army arrived, they battled against the Chifeng Army again, using their exhausted masters to force the Chifeng Army to retreat. Afterwards, Li Cheng used a scheme to lure the Chifeng Army into a trap, killing the Chifeng Army in one fell swoop, and then killed the vice commander-in-chief Li Wei.

The War Chastity Army of Jian City had achieved a great victory. Although there were deaths and injuries, the number of soldiers that could fight should be around eighty thousand. Then, Li Cheng continued to lead the troops to the north, attacking the Feng City.

The nearby counties all sent their troops over, hoping that the Feng City would be able to stop the Chastity Army's advance.

In an extremely short period of time, the number of people in Feng City had actually increased to around a hundred thousand, which was more than the number of people that a chaste soldier could fight.

In the minds of the people of Wind, a hundred thousand soldiers guarding the Feng City was enough to withstand the exhaustion, there were only eighty thousand soldiers left. However, the result was out of everyone's expectations.

These hundred thousand people that had been gathered together were just a facade. Their battle prowess was even lower than the local army's. The people that made up the huge army of 100,000 were mainly ordinary citizens. Many of them didn't even have armor or weapons, only cloth clothing. With wooden sticks, how could they be a match for the Chastity Army?

It only took half a day for the eighty thousand Chastity Army to break through the defenses of the Feng City and enter the city. The already red-eyed General Zhen Soldier were like demons, they killed anyone they saw, and the siege war had also turned into a large-scale massacre.

The citizens of the city were so frightened that they ran out of the city. The Chastity Army did not chase after the citizens who were running away, but for the people who were left in the city, the Chastity Army did not let any of them go. If it was a big Feng City, then there would be flames everywhere, and massacres would occur everywhere. Large streets and small alleys, and corpses littered the ground.

The news of Feng City's fall quickly spread to the Yan City. When they heard about it, let alone the imperial government that was led by the Son of Heaven Yin Zhun, even the imperial government was shocked and apprehensive. People could not understand, how could this army be so powerful? It was said that they did not have many forces, but how was it that no one could resist them?! Even his Chifeng Army had been defeated, and even Middle General Li Wei had died in battle.

On the day that the news was sent back, all of the ministers of the Feng Country gathered at the Duke Palaces. Tang Yin was not in the capital, and the one presiding over the imperial court meeting was Shangguan Yuanji. The court meeting had already passed, but the military situation was too urgent and people had to come up with a plan to deal with it.

In the imperial court, people were discussing with one another and the entire lobby of the palace was in an uproar.

At this time, Finance Minister Zhang Xin said to Shangguan Yuanji: "Prime Minister Shangguan, now that the Zhen Jun Army has seized the Feng City, the next battle will be at the Wan City. I wonder what kind of strategy Prime Minister Shangguan will have?"

Hearing his question, the people stopped talking and looked at Shangguan Yuanji's face at the same time.

Shangguan Yuanji was just like usual, calm and steady, but he was also feeling anxious in his heart. What should he do? He was not Qiu Zhen, so how could he know what to do? He blinked and remained silent, but turned to look at Zong Yuan.

Amongst the many officials, only Zong Yuan was the most astute. When Tang Yin had rebelled against Zhong Tian, Qiu Zhen, Zhang Zhe and Zong Yuan had all been the three strategists of Tang Yin. Now that Qiu Zhen and Zhang Zhe were not around, he could only rely on Zong Yuan.

Zong Yuan saw that Shangguan Yuanji was looking at him, and understood that he wanted him to stand out and say a few words to help the enemy, but Zong Yuan pretended not to see it, and turned his head to look elsewhere. There was no conflict between him and Shangguan Yuanji, and the key thing was that he didn't have a good idea either. The current situation was too dangerous. There were no more soldiers that could fight in the capital, and some tens of thousands of people were new soldiers that had no fighting strength. They were counting on them to fight with the Chastity Army, which was the same as sending these tens of thousands of new soldiers to their deaths.2

It was a difficult task for a woman to make a meal. No matter how smart and crafty Zong Yuan was, he had to have soldiers in order to retreat.

Seeing that Zong Yuan did not even dare to step forward to say a word, Shangguan Yuanji's heart sank and his brows slowly furrowed.

Zhang Xin sighed: "Looks like Prime Minister Shangguan doesn't have any way of retreating from the enemy. Since that's the case, we ? I can only move to the capital. "

"What?" Shangguan Yuanji was shocked, he raised his eyes and thought of Zhang Xin.

Zhang Xin said: "Move to the capital! It was the only way. The People of Zhen Country is approaching menacingly, and our army is unable to resist it at all. Rather than waiting in the capital to die, we might as well move to the capital and avoid the enemy! "

Shangguan Yuanji shook his head and said, "No! Ever since the founding of the Kingdom, Feng Country had always been used as the capital. Now, in the eyes of the people, Yan City was no longer just the capital, it was also the symbol of Feng Country.

"If we don't move our capital and if the People of Zhen Country comes killing them, how can we defend against them?"

Zhang Xin's suggestion of relocating to the capital received the support of many ministers. Although no one said anything, he nodded his head repeatedly.

Strictly speaking, Zhang Xin was a direct descendant of a side branch, and was not even Tang Yin's subordinate, so his position in the imperial court was not very high, but he was very tactful, able to speak, and was very generous. He had a very deep personal relationship with many of Tang Yin's direct descendants, and gradually, he had his own power, so there were many people who were dependent on him.

Shangguan Yuanji's face darkened, he said coldly: "If the enemy troops arrive at the city gates, even if we do go up to the city ourselves, we will have to fight them to the end, furthermore we are moving to the capital now, how can we not report this to the King?"

Zhang Xin answered: "The King is far from here, if we were to report to him, it would take at least half a month for him to arrive and go. By that time, the People of Zhen Country would have reached the Yan City by now, so it would be too late for us to move to the capital even if we wanted to. Now that we are outside, we can only react in a random manner. "

Many ministers thought what Zhang Xin said was reasonable, so they nodded and whispered to each other, but with Shangguan Yuanji as the leader, a portion of the ministers firmly opposed it.

Zong Yuan looked over there, then over there, and secretly sighed in his heart, it was said that scholars misunderstood a country, so what he said was not false, if there was time to argue here, he might as well think of a practical method!

He was also opposed to emigrating to the capital, and even found it laughable. It was not worth thinking about, it was something he should not even think about. The capital of a country, how could it be moved according to your wishes? If it was moved away by less than a hundred thousand enemies, wouldn't the other duchies laugh it off? In the next few decades or even several hundred years, Feng Country will no longer be a place for the other nations.

Furthermore, the King is currently fighting with the main forces of the Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country, moving the capital behind him. Isn't the morale of the soldiers in front about to collapse? Not only did it not help the King, it put him and her men in danger.

These ministers only wanted to protect themselves. They were afraid of death, and it was difficult to collude with their plans! Zong Yuan sneered in his heart, shook his head, and turned to walk out.

Above the imperial court, two groups of people were arguing with each other, and no one noticed Zong Yuan's stealthy departure, except for one person, Lei Zhen.

This was the first time Lei Zhen had seen such a scene, and at the beginning, he was somewhat dumbstruck, but slowly, a sense of impatience arose in his heart. He was a martial general, yet he was also depressed. He could not interrupt the officials even if he wanted to.

Inadvertently, Lei Zhen saw Zong Yuan walking out, so he took a few steps back and also sneaked out behind everyone.

Upon arriving outside, he quickly took a few steps forward and caught up with Zong Yuan. He cupped his hands and bowed: "Master Zong!"

Zong Yuan was startled, he raised his head and looked at Lei Zhen, and asked in confusion, "Why has General Lei come out?"

Lei Zhen said with a smile: "I saw Master Zong leaving, so I followed him out. I wonder where Master Zong is going? "
